Stretch out your hand as per Fleming left-hand rule and then tilt your hand upside down. You can see that the direction of mag field is the same, but the direction of current has reversed as per the question. also, the thumb goes downwards i.e opposite to initial direction. hence, we can see that the direction of force has been reversed.

Percentage of formal sector in total credit in India in poor household is
  • a)
    20
  • b)
    15
  • c)
    70
  • d)
    80
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Muskaan rane answered
The formal sector refers to the sector of the economy that is regulated by the government and includes registered businesses and workers who receive regular salaries or wages, benefits, and legal protections. In contrast, the informal sector includes unregistered businesses and workers who often operate outside the legal system and do not receive the same benefits and protections.

In India, the formal sector accounts for a relatively small proportion of the total credit available to poor households. According to a report by the Reserve Bank of India, the percentage of formal sector credit in total credit for poor households in India is around 15%.

Some possible reasons for this relatively low percentage of formal sector credit include:

- Limited access: Poor households may have limited access to formal sector credit due to factors such as lack of collateral, poor credit history, or limited financial literacy.
- High costs: Formal sector credit may be relatively expensive for poor households due to high interest rates, fees, and other charges.
- Limited outreach: Formal sector lenders may not have a strong presence in rural and remote areas where many poor households live, making it difficult for them to access formal credit.
- Preference for informal credit: Poor households may prefer to obtain credit from informal sources such as moneylenders, friends, and family members who may be more flexible and accessible than formal lenders.

Overall, increasing access to formal sector credit for poor households in India is an important policy goal that could help to reduce poverty and promote economic development. This could involve measures such as improving financial literacy, expanding outreach of formal lenders, and reducing the costs of formal credit.

Mode is not affected by
  • a)
    Maximum value
  • b)
    Minimum value
  • c)
    Extreme values
  • d)
    All of the above
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Hitesh naidu answered
Understanding Mode and Its Characteristics
The mode is a statistical measure that represents the value that appears most frequently in a data set. It plays a crucial role in descriptive statistics and is particularly useful when analyzing categorical data.
Why Mode is Not Affected by Extreme Values
- Maximum Value: The maximum value in a data set refers to the highest number. If this number appears only once, it does not influence the mode, which is determined by frequency rather than magnitude.
- Minimum Value: Similar to the maximum, the minimum value or the lowest number in a data set can exist without affecting the mode. If the minimum is unique or infrequent, it will not change the mode.
- Extreme Values: Extreme values (outliers) are data points that differ significantly from other observations. While these values can impact measures like mean or median, they do not affect the mode as long as the most frequent value remains unchanged.
Conclusion
In summary, the mode remains stable despite changes in maximum or minimum values, or the presence of extreme values. It solely relies on the frequency of occurrence in the data set. Thus, the correct answer is option 'D', indicating that the mode is not influenced by maximum, minimum, or extreme values.

The lower limit of the modal class of the following data is:
  • a)
    10
  • b)
    20
  • c)

How much deposits is kept as cash by the banks ?
  • a)
    15 per cent
  • b)
    20 per cent
  • c)
    25 per cent
  • d)
    30 per cent
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gurdeep nair answered
The correct answer is option 'A', which states that banks keep 15% of deposits as cash. This is known as the cash reserve ratio (CRR), which is a policy tool used by central banks to control the money supply in an economy.

The cash reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that banks are required to keep with the central bank as a reserve. It is a crucial tool used by central banks to maintain stability in the financial system and control inflation. By regulating the amount of cash that banks must keep on hand, central banks can influence the lending capacity of commercial banks and ultimately control the money supply.

Now, let's understand why the correct answer is option 'A' in more detail:

1. Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR):
- The cash reserve ratio (CRR) is the percentage of deposits that banks are required to keep with the central bank.
- It is a statutory requirement imposed by the central bank on commercial banks.
- The purpose of CRR is to ensure that banks have enough cash to meet their obligations and maintain liquidity.

2. Role of the Central Bank:
- The central bank is responsible for regulating the banking system and controlling the money supply.
- By adjusting the cash reserve ratio, the central bank can influence the lending capacity of banks.
- If the central bank increases the CRR, banks are required to keep a higher percentage of their deposits as cash, reducing their lending capacity.
- Conversely, if the central bank decreases the CRR, banks can keep a lower percentage of their deposits as cash, increasing their lending capacity.

3. Significance of the Cash Reserve Ratio:
- The cash reserve ratio plays a vital role in controlling inflation and maintaining financial stability.
- By regulating the amount of cash that banks can lend, the central bank can control the money supply in the economy.
- If the central bank wants to reduce inflation, it can increase the CRR, reducing the amount of money available for lending and reducing aggregate demand.
- On the other hand, if the central bank wants to stimulate economic growth, it can decrease the CRR, allowing banks to lend more money and increasing aggregate demand.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'A' because banks are required to keep 15% of their deposits as cash under the cash reserve ratio (CRR) policy imposed by the central bank. This policy ensures that banks have enough liquidity to meet their obligations and helps the central bank control the money supply in the economy.

The modal class in the following frequency distribution is: 
  • a)
    40-50
  • b)
    30-40
  • c)
    20-30
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
 The modal class is the class with the highest frequency ie, the class which occurs the most. So,30-40 has frequency 30 which is the highest, therefore, 30-40 is the modal class.

Assertion (A): The direction of force on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field depends on the direction of both the current and the magnetic field.
Reason (R): When the direction of the current through the conductor is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the force experienced by the conductor is at its maximum.
  • a)
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  • b)
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  • c)
    If Assertion is true but Reason is false
  • d)
    If both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

  • The assertion that the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field depends on the directions of both the current and the magnetic field is correct. This relationship is described by the right-hand rule for the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
  • The reason that the force is maximum when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field is also correct. This is a fundamental principle of electromagnetism.
  • However, the reason does not directly explain why the assertion is true. While it is true that the force is maximum when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field, this fact alone does not fully explain the dependence of the force on the directions of both the current and the magnetic field. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Major portion of the deposits is used by banks for extending loans to borrowers.
Some portion is used as cash reserve ratio with the RBI.
Some portion of money is used as statutory liquid ratio deposit with the bank itself as set by RBI.

  • b)
    11
  • c)
    14
  • d)
    14 and 16
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the mode of a set of numbers, we need to determine the number(s) that appear most frequently in the set. In this case, the set of numbers is 12, 17, 16, 14, 13, 16, 11, and 14.

**Step 1: Arrange the numbers in ascending order:**
11, 12, 13, 14, 14, 16, 16, 17

**Step 2: Count the frequency of each number:**
11 appears once
12 appears once
13 appears once
14 appears twice
16 appears twice
17 appears once

**Step 3: Determine the number(s) with the highest frequency:**
In this case, the numbers 14 and 16 appear most frequently, each occurring twice. Therefore, the mode of the set is 14 and 16.

However, the options provided are a)13, b)11, c)14, and d)14 and 16. The correct answer is option d)14 and 16 because both numbers have the highest frequency in the set.

Therefore, the mode of the given set of numbers 12, 17, 16, 14, 13, 16, 11, and 14 is 14 and 16.

For the following distribution the modal class is
  • a)
    30-40
  • b)
    40-50
  • c)
    20-30
  • d)
    10-20
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the modal class from a given frequency distribution, we look for the class interval with the highest frequency. The class interval with the highest frequency is referred to as the modal class.
In the provided distribution, we have cumulative frequencies, so we need to first determine the frequency of each class interval. To do this, we subtract the cumulative frequency of the preceding class from the cumulative frequency of the current class.
Here are the cumulative frequencies provided for each class:
  • Marks below 10: 2 students
  • Marks below 20: 11 students
  • Marks below 30: 25 students
  • Marks below 40: 45 students
  • Marks below 50: 67 students
  • Marks below 60: 75 students
Now let's calculate the frequency for each class interval:
  • 10-20: 11−2=911−2=9
  • 20-30: 25−11=1425−11=14
  • 30-40: 45−25=2045−25=20
  • 40-50: 67−45=2267−45=22
  • 50-60: 75−67=875−67=8
The class interval with the highest frequency is 40-50 with 22 students, making it the modal class. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: 40-50.

If a current-carrying conductor is placed in a uniform magnetic field and oriented parallel to the magnetic field lines, what happens to the force on the conductor?
  • a)
    The force is at its maximum.
  • b)
    The force is zero.
  • c)
    The force is doubled.
  • d)
    The force becomes perpendicular to the field.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Top Rankers answered
When a current-carrying conductor is oriented parallel to the magnetic field lines, the force experienced by the conductor is zero. This is because the force on the conductor is given by F=BILsin⁡θ, where θ is the angle between the direction of the current and the magnetic field. When θ is 0 degrees (parallel), sin⁡θ is zero, resulting in no force.
